Why do I run?

A COLD day for Hot Cider!

No one said it would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it! The day that I had been working toward since January finally arrived. The Cellcom Green Bay Marathon. I have run this event for 8 out of the last 9 years, either running the 5k or the half marathon. This time, […]
